John F Kennedy Notes
President John F Kennedy is dressed formally for a ceremony that is taking place in which people stood to welcome him. The way he speaks to the audience makes you intrigued to listen to what he has to say. He shows confidence letting the crowd know that they can trust he and let him be the center of attention. It gives him a sort of authority. In parts of his speech he uses his hands as he is talking; this suggests that he is passionate about what he is talking about and to emphasize what he is saying. He also acknowledges  all sides of the crowd by turning to look at them directly. "We choose to do these things not because they are easy but because they are hard." Kennedy addresses the nations problems and tells the public the ways in which he wants to resolve them. He speaks generously of the schools and the city. He introduces the topic of space and traveling to the moon. He mentions his ideas for the economy and ways to better it. "For the eyes of the world are now looking to space."

Examples:
Ethos- Confident, well dressed, presentable
Pathos- talks more about what he is excited for, uses his hands as he talks, turns to all sides of the audience
Logos- "We choose to do these things not because they are easy but because they are hard.", states facts, talks about the nations accomplishments
